The difference can be a lot depending on what you listen to vinyl though.

I personally run my turntable through a 400 watt Peavey PA and the difference in compression of sound & element is huge.

Especially if you were to compare analogue to digital but that's a whole other story.

Deers are pretty dumb. Youtube is full of videos of deers with locked horns.

Sometimes one is dead, or partially aten by wolves.

I like vinyl records as a physical medium because of the large covers and childhood nostalgia. Do I bother listening to vinyl records? Not really, too much of a hassle.

Mastering guidelines are different for vinyl records, CDs or digital distribution. I haven't yet mastered anything for vinyl, but as far as I can remember, you may have to tame bass some (because it takes up more physical groove-space on the record) and you should use limiters lightly / sparingly or not at all.

This means that if you have a CD or digital version of a song and compare it to the vinyl version, you're by far most likely listening to two different masters. The CD / digital release is likely to be louder and more compressed. This doesn't have to be the case, but generally music on those formats is compressed/limited more.

Sound quality wise, the comparison wouldn't be that valid. I mean, you'd actually be comparing different masters. If someone put a vinyl master on a CD or digital release and played all formats through the same sound system, you might not hear much of a difference between the mediums besides the added noise of the stylus scratching the LP's surface.

^ Back in the old days, 78s and 45s were described by their speeds. I presume that because "thirty-three and a third" was a bit of a mouthful, the next format to evolve was called a Long Player because it dramatically broke through the +/- ten-mins-per-disc barrier that had always applied previously. For something like ten years, a Long Player was always called an "lp," then, (and I blame this on musicians and journalists) the vague and slightly pretentious word "album" became cooler to use and the term "lp" was pretty much abandoned.

Of course "album" as applied to music is not format-specific. In a way that works well if you want to talk about a collection of songs that is published in various ways. What is a shame is that "album" has completely ousted the term "lp", which would be the perfect name to use in this thread and which would have avoided upsetting ladyislingering.

Better sound quality - a CD cut the frequency at 22.05 kHz. Which means it's not possible to get better sound quality than 22 kHz.
